Yeah, but think of the profits when people have absolutely forgotten the original release and the movie can just be recast 30 years later and passed off as original.

Does it hurt being that stupid?

No matter what level of effort you'll be using... don't get the Walmart brand. Yeah, they're good for beginners and can handle the occasional weekend project. But even you don't use them enough to wear them out, the other dads/men will make fun of you for having the hardware equivalent of velcro shoes from the dollar store.

Honest answer: I started with DeWalt. Had issues. Went to Milwaukee. Never regretted it.

I caved and subscribed during the 2020 elections. Got tired of seeing two old dipshits yell at each other in ads. Actually enjoyed it enough to keep paying $12 a month.

I use Windows, MacOS, and Linux.

At work, windows cause I have to. I hate it.

To tinker with CLI and coding, Linux. I SSH into it from work to check my email with Mutt and browse the web with Lynx.

My computer that I just want to operate and do what it’s supposed to? Mac. Thing runs like a Toyota - non-stop and when you need it.

For what I want to do on the Internet, Lynx works just fine. If I need something fancy I'll just us Safari on my phone.

I've been here since they shut down third-party apps. It gets better each time they piss off more of the user base and ya'll join the rest of us. Hahaha.

When I wanna play a game, I wanna play a game. I don't wanna watch a damn movie I can't skip. Or even worse, "follow me!" like it's Dora the Explorer on tutorial mode. I got like 30 minutes into God of War and gave up.

They either don't care or ignore it. As long as their side is on top they shrug it off.
